Josh McCray's 1-yard TD run in OT gives Georgia a 44-41 win at Tennessee

Game 4 of the Gunner Stockton era finally got the University of Georgia offense executing like planned, as the Bulldogs beat Tennessee 44-41 on Saturday.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — When No. 6 Georgia clawed its way back from three deficits against No. 15 Tennessee on Saturday, coach Kirby Smart got the answer he was looking for.

“We feel our team has a certain identity,” Smart said after the Bulldogs’ 44-41 overtime victory. “We’re not going to go down without a fight.”

Josh McCray scored on a 1-yard run in to cap the win. Georgia (3-0, 1-0 SEC) beat Tennessee (2-1, 1-0) for the ninth straight time with Nate Frazier setting up the winning score with a 21-yard run on Georgia’s first snap in overtime.

“I feel almost like we have to apologize,” said Smart. “I don’t think that we should have won that game. I thought [Tennessee] outplayed us in a lot of ways.”

Max Gilbert kicked a 42-yard field goal to give Tennessee a 41-38 edge in overtime. Tennessee had a chance to win in regulation, but Gilbert pushed a 43-yard field-goal attempt wide right just before the final whistle.
